Chapter 267: Building the Heavenly Island(2/2)

He planned to change his views and re-produce a video to express his feelings, and also wanted to see how the audience would react.

It is also worth mentioning that while audiences around the world were watching the live broadcast, Liu Gaowen, who was sent by Xu Lei on the Tiankun dredger located in the center of the sea area of ​​​​Dengtian Island, was preparing for the attack with a serious look on his face.

Because the construction of the ground station also includes a tower that is more than ten kilometers high.

This tower is divided into two parts, the ground and the seabed. In order to maintain stability, the seabed part needs to be increased appropriately and buried during the construction of the artificial island. This can also reduce seawater erosion.

Liu Gaowen is responsible for the construction of this undersea tower, ensuring that there will be no mistakes in the process and that it will be carried out in accordance with Xu Lei's drawings.

"The construction speed of Dentian Island has temporarily slowed down in the past few days. We will wait for the materials for the tower to be delivered."

In the main control room of the Tiankun heavy dredger, Liu Gaowen calculated the efficiency of each vessel and quickly told the engineering staff beside him in a deep voice.

The tower is the most important component of the ground station and is also directly connected to the cable car. Its quality is related to whether the space elevator can operate smoothly after it is completed.

So its material requirements are extremely high.

It needs to have sufficient strength and corrosion resistance.

For this purpose, Xu Lei deliberately used a special alloy material developed by Gu Sanlin's team at the research center. Its performance is almost the same as the core skeleton of Xingtong's body. From this point alone, you can imagine the amount of money it will cost.

I'm afraid that if you look around the world, only future technology can withstand it.

If it were any other company, they probably wouldn't even be able to set up a ground station.

But precisely because of this reason, even if the company has stepped up the production of materials required for the tower, the transportation progress cannot be compared with the efficiency of island construction.

After all, during the construction of the central area, the tower's submarine structure must be buried while filling with sand. No matter which process is faster or slower, it will cause serious quality problems in the project.

Liu Gaowen cannot afford this kind of responsibility.

He had the opportunity to participate in this kind of project in this life. It is no exaggeration to say that he has no regrets in his life. He is naturally extremely grateful to Xu Lei. In this case, he must be responsible for the quality of the project.

Therefore, even if the progress of island building is slowed down.

Anyway, according to the existing heavy engineering ships, the construction of the Dengtian Island will not be delayed by ten months at the latest, which is completely sufficient in terms of time.

Don't worry about this.

Besides, there are so many viewers around the world watching. If something happens, it will directly disgrace Future Technology internationally.

The main ground station, Range Rover Spaceport, is being developed simultaneously. As long as it can be completed within one year, the final splicing will not take too long.

The person in charge next to him had no objections to Liu Gaowen's arrangement and immediately passed on the order to slow down the ship slightly and wait patiently for the seabed part of the tower to be transported.

"I understand Liu Gong."

Soon as the next person in charge took over the task and left, Liu Gaowen's eyes turned to the control screen in front of him again.

No intention of slacking off at all.

It can only be said that Xu Lei's choice to let Liu Gaowen be responsible for the construction of the ground station was a very correct choice.

Let’s talk about overseas.

Originally, Marsne and Hayden returned to Rover Island from Washington State and were preparing to focus all their energy on the launch mission to ensure the successful launch of the space shuttle in April next year and send their own astronauts to the moon again, but they happened to

At this time, Future Technology launched a global live broadcast for 20 hours non-stop, which just made them lose any popularity.

When the key was first informed that Future Technology and Yanfang were going to build a space elevator, they didn't take it to heart at all and thought the project was completely impossible.

But now that Future Technology is conducting live broadcasts in such a high-profile manner, they wish that people all over the world would know about their space elevator plan. If they are not confident, they may not choose to conduct live broadcasts.

Faced with this situation, they are somewhat worried that the space elevator will actually be built.

Because as professionals in the aerospace industry, no one understands the powerful role of space elevators better than them. If future technology really masters space elevators, the construction of lunar bases and even Mars bases will be completed in a very short time.

If they deploy near-Earth and near-lunar spaceports and ultra-large laser weapons, they will completely lose their right to speak.

I can only watch the world structure change.

For this reason, although Hayden did not immediately return to Washington to report to Tripp, he still called Marsne over and held an emergency meeting to discuss the matter.

"Have you watched the live broadcast about future technology? Let me know what you think. The general manager is still waiting for my report."

Luo Fuzhou.

NASA's Kennedy Space Center.

In the huge space, Hayden stood on the elevated platform and looked at the space shuttle that was undergoing maintenance not far away, and asked Marsen next to him about the live broadcast of the space elevator construction process.

Although Masen is very reluctant to admit it, based on his previous experience in dealing with future technologies, Xu Lei is able to have such confidence to conduct live broadcasts on a global scale. I am afraid that in all likelihood, he is relatively confident in this project.

After a slight hesitation, he finally chose to speak: "I watched the live broadcast. They should be serious this time. Maybe this Xu Lei has mastered some of the core technologies of the space elevator."

"We really need to have a hunch in this regard." Hayden agreed with Marsen's thoughts: "Future technology is really a formidable opponent!"

The words just fell.

Then he added: "Neon has been researching without a clue for so many years, but they started construction so easily. It's really incredible."

After hearing what Hayden said, Masen's face suddenly looked gloomy.

The Tesla new energy vehicle brand that I was proud of was disrupted by the future technology Xingyuan Automobile. Today, it has basically existed in name only. I finally found a chance to turn around again, and I can turn around with the help of my own space exploration technology company.

The situation has even turned against Future Technology. How could he be willing to miss this opportunity?

The main thing is that he understands very well that if he can't gain the upper hand this time, then he may have to lie down in the future.

As my mind was running rapidly, a very bold idea suddenly appeared in my mind.

"I do have a good proposal." Marsn put away the expression on his face and looked at Hayden pretending to be calm: "This artificial island of Future Technology is built on the equator and is located in the southern sea. If we

If it attacks, the success rate will be very high."

Marsne's idea is simple.

Since there is no way to surpass future technology in terms of technical means, we should start directly with force.

As long as the ground station of the space elevator is destroyed by then, there will be no threat to their moon base plan.

I have to say that Marsen's proposal was quite well thought out. After all, as a pure businessman, he would not think too much about the follow-up issues.

But Hayden is completely different.

As the head of NASA, he knows very well that if the ground station of the space elevator is really attacked, the world will instantly fall into war. Moreover, with the current gap in military force between the two sides, they really may not be able to win.

So I rejected the proposal without much thought.

"I hope you don't have similar thoughts." Hearing the sound, Hayden turned around and said to Marsn very seriously: "The other party has sent an aircraft carrier fleet to cruise around this artificial island, and they also have

Equipped with sixth-generation fighter jets and nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, as well as quantum computing technology mastered by future technology, we will only be the ones to completely fall out and suffer at this time."

"If future technology can really produce a space elevator, then I'm afraid I will have to convince the general to choose to cooperate with Yanfang to jointly develop lunar resources." The last sentence was what he said to himself.

After all, with the space elevator, the aerospace technology they possess is nothing, and the construction speed of their lunar base is certainly incomparable to future technology.

Under such circumstances, it is undoubtedly a more suitable way to proactively choose cooperation and first use the space elevator of future technology to build your own lunar base.

But these words made Masen panic.

If the space agency chooses to cooperate with Future Technology, it will be equivalent to their Space Exploration Technology Company being directly kicked out.

This result is unacceptable to Marsne in any case.

With his mind running at high speed, he quickly spoke up and said, "Sir Hayden, don't forget that the most critical issue in the space elevator is the cable material. Even if future technology can really create a space elevator, I am afraid that with the current level of material development, the cable will not be able to be used at all."

Can’t bear a few transports.”

"Once it breaks, the space elevator will lose its function and it will not affect us."

"Even if we take a step back, their space elevator can really transport for a long time. It won't be too late for us to join forces with other forces to ask for cooperation."

Originally, Hayden did have the idea of ​​​​cooperating, but after listening to Marsen's words, it seemed to make sense.

My mind couldn't help but become more active.

The biggest advantage of the space elevator is that it can be used to transport supplies for a long time. However, if the cable breaks as Marsen said, most of its functions will be basically lost.

Because you can't just replace the cable after a few uses.

What's more critical is that for a cable with a length of 40,000 kilometers, the environment of each section is different, and the greater the difference in values, the more likely problems will occur.

It is possible that the test data obtained in the laboratory will be different when used in actual applications.

Thinking of this, Hayden immediately made a decision: "What you said makes some sense. I will report this matter to the commander-in-chief immediately. As for how to make a decision, just listen to the commander-in-chief."

After finally saying this, he saw him hurriedly returning to the office to make travel arrangements.

At this time, Marsne looked at Hayden's back, his frown finally relaxed, and he believed that the general would definitely adopt this proposal.

After all, if the two sides cooperate, they will be on the same level, and how can they build super-large laser weapons to achieve military crushing, so as long as there is still a chance, they will definitely try it.

Compared with the worried overseas parties, Xu Lei is currently immersed in the joy of the rapid increase in influence.

Things developed almost exactly as he expected. After the live broadcast was officially launched, he found that the influence of the Science and Technology Museum's booth was growing significantly, and at this rate, when the main body of the space elevator was completely completed, the impact was estimated to be
Chapter completed!
